Condensation and Ethereality
The more the condensation and density of the substances created from gases, the heavier they become, and the more they are attracted to lower altitudes, just like the fact that denser materials cannot remain on water’s surface (like metal). While materials with less density (like wood) can remain on top of the water, in this infinite space, more massive objects sink deeper while lighter ones stay on top. Just like when the water in seas evaporates since its shape has transformed and it no longer has any responsibility in the sea, it elevates and gains a higher elevation, turning into clouds. There are substances with even less density than clouds, which ascend higher than them, and there are even more ethereal substances. These degrees continue in various hierarchies. Astronomers today have also discovered this notion that the Earth’s atmosphere has several layers and degrees. Less dense and lighter substances stay on top1, and more massive and denser substances remain at the bottom.
In this regard, the atmosphere over the Earth has several layers, including the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and more. These are out of the scope of our current discussion.
